The cat yawned slowly, carefully, revealing a mouth and tongue of astounding pinkness. "Cats don't have names," it said.
"No?" said Coraline.
"No," said the cat. "Now, you people have names. That's because you don't know who you are. We know who we are, so we don't need names."
We went to see Coraline last night. It was scary. I haven't jumped so much at the cinema since we found ourselves, somewhat accidentally, watching 28 Weeks Later. I was glad that I had my husband's armpit to hide in. I don't like scary films.

ReplyDeletethat movie gave me nightmares for a week!! the other wybie's sewn on smile was enough to make me jump my seat.
ReplyDeleteThat picture is terrifying. I thought I might see Coraline, because the animation and art direction looks interesting, but maybe I won't. I do NOT like scary movies.
ReplyDeleteI imagine the armpit was rather cuddly and reassuring.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness. I saw it right when it came out and had nightmares!! Bizarro movie.
ReplyDeleteI don't like scary movies either, thanks for the tip off! Don't EVER allow yourself to be conned into watching the Aussie movie Wolf Creek, I think I had a nervous breakdown after seeing that.
ReplyDeleteHaven't seen the movie yet, but loved the book!!
